EREBUS Memorial / Dove Myer Robinson Park - NOT THE RIGHT SITE
There is a 'peaceful sit-in/protest' happening down in Dove Myer Robinson Park. Come down and see just how big and ugly the Erebus Monument would be if it goes ahead. We are camping there in protest - please come and join us. We have been sitting on the gentle slope below the 180-year-old Pohutukawa (which will be trimmed back if this goes ahead) watching the Americas Cup racing out on the Waitemata. If the monument goes ahead there, we will lose a beautiful sheltered spot with views to Rangitoto and the Waitemata harbour. This is not the right site for this monstrosity and we need support in numbers! Please go to www.sosnz.org.nz... / @ProtectMataharehare to sign the Petition - this whole process has been done behind closed doors! Families have come and told us of the many years of memories picnicing down there and all remember the magnificent Pohutukawa throughout the years. If left to grow, it could survive another 800 years or more!!! Don't let them trim it back to accommodate their 'work' -- and other trees will be removed all together! Come on down and learn all about what is planned for this site! Note the pole in the foreground of picture - the large concrete and metal monument will go to this height! Help us stop it!
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
